This decorative skid plate is only for "bare bumpers" E53 guys as it is an add on to the front
As far as "copying design" goes, if it was something that was just backordered or something like that goes, I understand, but we have a source at the factory saying these will never go into production again, so I would not be too worrisome about "them" as its not like you are taking an existing design and re-making it.
Our "over the pond" friends in Latvia make replica 4.6/4.8 diffusers and don't seem to get in trouble? I would just not use the same name when coming out with the manufacturing, instead of calling it decorative front skid plate how about "Add-on lower valance for non-iS bumpers"?

While I previously mentioned an option would be to contact them, I would not recommend doing so as there is no reason for them to say yes. Even if they do I think there would be cost and/or significant delay before you could proceed. I would change the design and/or shape. Under not circumstances would it be a copy. I agree with naming it something different.
